Would someone know how to disable SMM in this BIOS?


There's no generic way. Try disabling USB keyboard emulation and any
unused peripherals. Also google "RTAI disable SMM".

No it is an "indutrial" motherboard.
Although I don't know what makes it "industrial".


One would really hope that such a device would be designed for machine
control and similar RT apps and thus free of SMM...
